The decision to delay the vote on the election law on Monday followed a request from 54 legislators, al-Fatlawi informed Shafaq News Agency, in truth, some of these lawmakers support the Sainte-Lague system, but think that political agreement is compulsory in such laws.
More talks might help reach more satisfying outcomes.
In itself, the postponement procedure is useless.
The major political blocs have actually currently made up their mind.
They fulfilled the quorum on Monday and will do so again next Saturday.
However, to prevent disturbing some lawmakers, the vote was delayed as a gesture of goodwill to cultivate good relations amongst the associates.
The political blocs are devoted to enacting the election law according to the Sainte-Lague method.
The quotient can be 1.9 or 1.7; independent lawmakers have a higher chance when the decimal is smaller.
The present discussions and posts ponement aim to decrease the decimals from 1.9 to 1.7 or 1.6.
While the post ponement has some advantages, it also hinders parliamentary and legal work at a time the parliament is dealing with other essential legislations, such as the budget plan, pensions, and salary scales, he concluded.
